A very large, comfortable and well-equipped cottage, perfect for families and/or friends. The large kitchen-dining area is perfect for mealtimes and getting everyone away from their screens. Having plenty of crockery and utensils meant that we could load the dishwasher after breakfast and dinner, run the dishwasher overnight and have everything cleRead morean again for the next morning. The sofas were perfect for reclining, taking a nap or watching a bit of TV. Having another table close to the patio doors was perefct for doing some work, with the added bonus of the view over the fields to the sea. The cottage is well located for trips to Land's End, Sennen Bay, Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance, and the nearby Lamorna Cove. All in all, thoroughly recommended- Edwina, the very friendly host, was always on hand to offer tips on visiting places in the area. We hope to be able to return at some point. Hide

Very comfortable, well-equipped property for 7 of us and a baby. Much bigger than it looks with lawned areas back and side for running around. Owners very helpful and the cream tea on arrival was delicious and very welcome. The WiFi dropped out at times which might be tricky for other people but didnt matter to us. Great location.

The accomodation is much larger than it shows on the photos. All rooms are spacious and beds and sofas are comfortable. We are 4 mature adults and, for us, the location was great with plenty of places to visit without having to drive far, yet returning to a fairly remote and peaceful location.

Lovely cottage with loads of space. Great views. Comfy beds and well equiped. Maybe needs a little refreshing decor wise. The location is super rural and peaceful and just a step off the SW coast path which was a big plus for us. If members of your family need good Internet access and a smart TV this maybe isn't the place for you. However the ownerRead more is working on a solution so this may get resolved? Hide

Really enjoyed our stay at the owls house despite mixed weather. Location is stunning and suited our large family group. The hosts were available if needed. Welcome pack was very generous and appreciated after a long journey.
